Mechanical Liaison Officer's Report - Mechanical Standards - FRA interpretations (6/19/00)

Subject: Mechanical Standards - FRA interpretations (6/19/00)

The safety administrator of the FRA has published guidelines for the interpretation of some of the FRA rules concerning safety appliances on rail cars, including passenger cars. These are worth you investigation, as several of the interpretations validate changes which the railroads have made over the years.
